Hot Blogger Bracket – AFC North

*(The brackets will be shuffled to reflect correct order of match-ups next round. You try putting together 88 entries. Any complaints and we will rig the voting faster than the De La Hoya-Mayweather fight.)

The Legend of Vince Tremblay’s “”I had a feeling things were going to be interesting tonight when I noticed the large number of Ontario license plates in my usual parking garage. I said to myself, ‘Self, them hosers are making a weekend of this.'”

I read this months ago, and it still made me laugh just as hard now as it did back then.

Woohoo! A 12 seed! AND I’m not going against Will! Unfortunately my plot to covertly plug my new blog was foiled (curses!) as I’m being associated with my old colleagues at Ghosts of the Garden (where my submission story was linking to) but, hey, that’s nothing.

Thanks to the Ladies….. for putting this all together. It’s nice to see that the gift cards and phone numbers of MLB players I sent you netted me an 8 seed. I look forward to all of the criticism about my appearance and writing, while I take every vote against me personally.

DaveyWayne. Ask him about that time he n’ I went cow-tipping. We knock a couple of ’em over and he looks at me and says “Do you ever feel like, you know… doing stuff to them while they’re lying there all helpless like?”

People like the Cobra makes me sick. Portraying himself as a well-dressed young man in a house of worship, when I know better as to the type of excessive partier, spender, and woman-attracter he is. Of course, no one likes that type of guy, and…oh wait, you do? This sounds like a deceptive attempt to get people to vote for my scaly friend? Err, oops.

I am woman, hear me objectify. My exact thought process through all four brackets voting: ‘that blog is sexist, and worse, not funny, voting for the other guy,’ ‘hmmm, looks jewish. jewish=hot.’ ‘no way those are his real abs, but it works for momma.’ ‘i’d sooner vote for a staph infection than a longhorn. gig ’em aggies!’ ‘one with most hair gets the vote!’ ‘ohhhhh, nice suit. sweet!’ ‘points for bringing in the baby in, pretty baby.’ and also: this is awesome. AWESOME.

Let me just say, thanks ladies… for helping the ole ego out by actually giving me a seed…even though it was quickly “thrashed” yet again. At least now I can say I got in the tournament and competed against a #1 seed, that kicked my ass of course.

Ha, yes, Jack Cobra, it appears I can’t even praise my friends in a straight-forward manner. I’m trying to get you the “bad boy” vote, because with a suit picture in church, you should have a good shot at the “good boy” vote.

And Sanchez, in a fit of amusement, I was thisclose to inventing a “GayMcGay” commenter name to make snarky/complementary remarks on each guy’s picture and clothes. Of course, with my limited knowledge of what passes for fashion, I’d have been exposed as a fraud after the second post, but that would have been fun.

I’m actually first base side. And before anyone gets all “down with Massholes!” on me. I’m from VA, I live outside DC, but I was raised a Sox fan. And I would never have any of the ladies call me Sports Guy while having coitus. Now would I have them call me Big Papi? Yes.

Palming a basketball? That’s all he’s got? I can roll out to the pick-up courts with two knee pads, an ankle brace, a shoulder wrap, three fingers taped together, wristbandm headband and goggles and still drop 4 points and grab 3 rebounds in a game to 20. Let’s see him do that!

Holly and Sports Girl thanks for the props. I love you. For ever and ever. If you ever want to make out no questions asked then I’m your man. There was a time back before 2004 when only a few people outside of Boston wore Sox hats. Now a days its just wannabes everywhere.

Sadly I think this one is going to go with Joe Sports Fan. I just have too much work to do every day to go stumping for votes.

One of my friends did send me an email which states “I hope you kick that Erik Estrada looking m-fers ass.” But Sebek is cool. If I lose I’m ok that it was to him.

And Paul Shirley, the tall, well-written basketball player who mentioned on Simmon’s podcast that he is a former NMF. For nerds like me, that’s pretty much the ultimate pre-college honor. And yet the man still supposedly can’t get a girlfriend. It’s just not fair!
Here’s more of the sass he deserves. Yes, I typed both on and in. No, it’s funny now and I’m too lazy to change it.

Ladies… psychologically speaking, some of the voters may actually be voting against the candidates you are urging them to vote for. That happens a lot of times in the political voting process. Just a thought.

I saw the above notation about the bracket being reshuffled to reflect the correct order of the matchups in the next round, so what I have is a question and should in no way be construed as a complaint.

Consider this a stupid male (pardon the redundancy) inability to grasp what smarter women are trying to tell him.

There are 22 seeds in this bracket. Assuming all the higher seeds advance (which I know will not happen, but I’m just trying to keep things simple for the men who might be reading this), the second round matchups will be as follows:

1 v. 11
2 v. 10
3 v. 9
4 v. 8
5 v. 7
6 v. ?

As the No. 6 seed, I’m curious . . . if I advance to the next round, do I get a bye or should I break out a Billy Idol record from around 1990?

that’s a big IF King! PopJocks is planning a run to the polls all day Saturday (only 200+ votes behind, that’s nothing!)………….unless the big planned fishing trip comes through thanks for no rain, then well, I’ll celebrate a loss with fine Long Island seafood
